official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Astronomers have discovered enormous circular radio features of unknown origin around some galaxies. Now, new observations of one dubbed the Cloverleaf suggest it was created by clashing groups of galaxies. Studying these structures, collectively called ORCs (odd radio circles), in a different kind of light offered scientists a chance toContinue reading “X-ray Satellite XMM-Newton Sees ‘Space Clover’ in a New Light”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Marshall Prepares for Strategic Facilities Updates  NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center is getting ready for the next big step in the evolution of its main campus. Through a series of multi-year infrastructure projects, Marshall is optimizing its footprint to assure its place as a vibrant and vital hub for theContinue reading “The Marshall Star for May 1, 2024”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA, on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has selected BAE Systems (formerly known as Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation) of Boulder, Colorado, to develop an instrument to monitor air quality and provide information about the impact of air pollutants on Earth for NOAA’s Geostationary Extended ObservationsContinue reading “NASA Selects BAE Systems to Develop Air Quality Instrument for NOAA”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Mahmooda SultanaNASA Goddard Space Flight Center Missions to the outer solar system are an important part of NASA’s goals because these scarcely visited worlds, particularly the ice giants Neptune and Uranus, hold secrets about the formation and evolution of our solar system and countless others. However, due to the highContinue reading “ScienceCraft for Outer Planet Exploration (SCOPE)”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Brianna ClementsHowe Industries The future of a space-faring civilization will depend on the ability to move both cargo and humans efficiently and rapidly. Due to the extremely large distances that are involved in space travel, the spacecraft must reach high velocities for reasonable mission transit times. Thus, a propulsion systemContinue reading “Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR): Shielded, Fast Transits for Humans to Mars”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Mary KnappMIT Humankind has never before seen the low frequency radio sky. It is hidden from ground-based telescopes by the Earth’s ionosphere and challenging to access from space with traditional missions because the long wavelengths involved (meter- to kilometer-scale) require infeasibly massive telescopes to see clearly. Electromagnetic radiation at theseContinue reading “The Great Observatory for Long Wavelengths (GO-LoW)”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Stephen PollyRochester Institute of Technology In this project we will continue our Phase I efforts to develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a revolutionary power source for missions to the outer planets utilizing a new paradigm in thermal power conversion, the thermoradiative cell (TRC). Operating like a solar cell inContinue reading “Radioisotope Thermoradiative Cell Power Generator”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Edward BalabanNASA ARC The future of space-based UV/optical/IR astronomy requires ever larger telescopes. The highest priority astrophysics targets, including Earth-like exoplanets, first generation stars, and early galaxies, are all extremely faint, which presents an ongoing challenge for current missions and is the opportunity space for next generation telescopes: larger telescopesContinue reading “Fluidic Telescope (FLUTE): Enabling the Next Generation of Large Space Observatories”
